對免疫學(xué)、免疫病理學(xué)、微生物學(xué)和傳染病感興趣的醫(yī)生和獸醫(yī)傾向于在人類或動物醫(yī)學(xué)的專業(yè)期刊上發(fā)表。因此，他們往往不知道彼此的問題。然而，人們普遍認(rèn)識到，人與動物醫(yī)學(xué)專家之間的跨學(xué)科合作對每一個人都有好處。比較免疫學(xué)、微生物學(xué)和傳染病填補了這兩個醫(yī)學(xué)分支之間的空白，使富有成效的對話得以進(jìn)行。該雜志對與免疫學(xué)和免疫藥理學(xué)、微生物學(xué)以及人類和動物傳染病相關(guān)的共同興趣的學(xué)科開放。這一主題并不完全局限于比較醫(yī)學(xué)，但每一篇文章都將為醫(yī)學(xué)的任何一個分支的專家提供共同感興趣的領(lǐng)域的進(jìn)一步知識。

There is a tendency for physicians and veterinarians interested in Immunology, Immunopathology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases to publish in specialist journals on human or animal medicine. Consequently they are often unaware of each others problems. Yet is widely recognized that interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists in human and animal medicine is of interest and benefit to each. Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases fills the gap between these two branches of medicine and enables fruitful dialogues to take place. The journal is open to subjects of common interest related to Immunology and Immunopharmacology, Microbiology and human and animal Infectious Diseases. The subject-matter is not restricted entirely to Comparative medicine, but every article will contribute further knowledge in fields of common interest to specialists in either branch of medicine.
